It's not possible. pmenu only works when the pointer is already
grabbed. Maybe it would be possible to extend it by specifically
grabbing again and adding other kludges. Add it to the Ion3+ wishlist
if you want, but I don't personally care.

The trackpad is The. Worst. Pointing. Device. Ever. I'll rather
have my hand glued to a mouse than use a trackpad. It's not only
totally inaccurate, and the integrated button always triggered at
the wrong time, but you constantly have to scrub your finger against
plastic, wearing the skin out and feeling it afterwards for days.
I'll rather nip a nipple, thank you.
